UPM Champion Rugby Super 8 IPT 2018

 

SERDANG: UPM Serdang Angels Rugby team proved they were in their own class when defending the Super 8 Rugby Championship IPT 2018 championship for the fifth consecutive year after sweeping UiTM Lions 30-12 at the UPM Stadium here yesterday.

Strengthened with nine national players, Serdang Angels began to be fierce when leading UiTM Lions 22-5 before half-time with four attempts and a conversion made by Mohd Nurazman Ramli, Wan Izzudin Ismail, Mohd Faizal Md Tahir and Faat Hor Rozi Ismail. Serdang Angels continued to double the lead to add eight points through a try (Mohamad Syarif Saiful Aazwan Sudin) and a penalty (Mohd Faizal) while UiTM Lions had seven points in one try and one conversion enabled Serdang Angels to record victory 30-12.

The win allowed Serdang Angels to take home a cash prize of RM5,000, a round trophy while UiTM Lions was satisfied with RM3,000. Serdang Angels coach Khairizal Ali Amat is delighted that his men have achieved their target of defending champions for the fifth consecutive time since 2014.

"The key to our success today is the close collaboration between the national players who played at the Jakarta-Palembang Games last month and other players, so the experience of the national players can help other players to do their best," he said. The tournament was attended by eight teams - four teams representing the Malaysian University Sports Council (MASUM), two teams from the Private Higher Education Institution Sports Council (MASISWA) and a Polytechnic Sports Council (MSP) team and a Community College Sports Council (MASKOM).
